A guy on facebook the other day was asking “if the odds of hitting any hole is the same for all holes” New to the games,
and programing a simulation, it’s a good question`…answered here, smile` Siproagnew posted this win on
Pinside A quarter into the
machine and a win for $1.20`…not bad, lunch and a couple drinks in 1953 _ my answer to the
new guy _
I don't know the math involved, but
it seems that the likely hood of getting any number serially-diminishes as
you walk down the playfield - With the bumper arrangement adding additional
twists as you drop lower, like making the 16 very very
difficult to hit - Don Hooker talked about calculating the odds prior to even
making the Bingos - He said he had to know what to design, prior to taking
the task-in-hand - He wanted the machines to pay a
average of 70% return - But with so many variables - machine leveling -
rubber wear - nudging - etc - They still designed
the Reflex to further balance the payouts and ensure earnings.... If you look
at the single card games, the number layout on the Bingo card, it helps show
how the holes nearer the top are more likely to be hit - etc.... Also look at
a 1954 with Super Cards - etc - The numbers on the
“little” cards are very tough to hit, compared to the top row – etc
Danny great comments. As I have
discussed in the past, my primary approach was to play one coin until I was
forced into an alternative method. That eliminated any reflex issues. It
never came into the picture. I like Phil’s
response on “fooling” the Reflex There were quite a
few comments, worth the read on FB Sweet win Brother …the power of
